NY Times Notices the Minnesota Multi-Mega Fraud
[NYT] Prosecutors say members of the Somali diaspora, a group with growing political power, were largely responsible. President Trump has drawn national attention to the scandal amid his crackdown on immigration.

The link is to a paywalled NY Times story because the news is that the NY Times is finally noticing it after years and years of groups like Powerline and Alpha publishing chapter and verse (and the StarTribune publishing quasi cover up stuff).

Speculation is that the NY Times has decided that Waltz should not run for Gov.

Rantburgers probably are familiar with the story but a refresher is available from Powerline here.
Aaaaand the locals respond:
Minnesota government workers blame Walz for 'massive fraud' amid allegations against Somali community

[FoxNews] More than 400 employees of the Minnesota Department of Human Services (DHS) accused Gov. Tim Walz of failing to act on widespread fraud warnings and retaliating against whistleblowers.

The Minnesota Department of Human Service Employees account, which says it consists of more than 480 current staff members at the Minnesota DHS, wrote on X that Walz is "100% responsible for massive fraud in Minnesota."

"We let Tim Walz know of fraud early on, hoping for a partnership in stopping fraud but no, we got the opposite response. Tim Walz systematically retaliated against whistleblowers using monitoring, threats, repression, and did his best to discredit fraud reports," the group claimed. "In addition to retaliating against whistleblower[s], Tim Walz disempowered the Office of the Legislative Auditor, allowing agencies to disregard their audit findings and guidance."

Walz's office did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment. # id) ?>

4 The story has a fraud element where Federal dollars were going to fake NGOs and then back to fund Somali terror. I expect that was happening under the unwatchful eye of Walz because they were his donors.
A second element is the superstructure itself. Why is there Federsl funding to create a Somali enclave in Minnesota and a Haitian enclave in Springfield, Ohio? Catholic Charities has made a business out of settling Afghans throughout the US. Why? How do we stop this activity?
